Notes

Hynson Springs were also known as Marshall, Noonday Camp, and Iron Springs and are located six kilomeers north of Hallsville, Texas.They became popular about 1851, and the waters are highly mineralized. During the Civil War the water was used in a leather-tanning factory. From 1891 to 1905, the Hotel Randell accommodated visitors to the springs. (From: Brune, Gunnar. Springs of Texas, vol. 1. Fort Worth: Branch-Smith, Inc., 1981.)
